Chapter 1547: Great Accomplishment

herwise, we risk being criticized for lacking tolerance and failing to be a gracious host.”Wang Tenghuan's words obviously represent the thoughts of most officials.So, as soon as Wang Tenghuan spoke,...Chapter 1547: The Great Mission Is Complete

Zhou Changshou spoke with conviction, but Wu Yong didn't hear a word.

"What use are these words of yours King Ning couldn't possibly kill Li Songru."

"Without any reason, he certainly couldn't have killed."

Zhou Changshou sighed.

Talking to people with low IQs is so tiring.

"But what if you could make the Prince of Ning believe that Li Songru was trying to seize military power"

This statement struck Wu Yong like a bolt from the blue.

Seeing Wu Yong's stunned expression, Zhou Changshou gently advised, "Right now, the Eighteen Riders of Yan Yun are no longer united because of Ye Wang's death. Ye Wang's death has caused many generals to have grievances against Li Songru. What's more, no one wants to see Li Songru become the sole ruler. Why did King Ning promote you instead of others"

"It's precisely because you have obvious flaws—lacking leadership, failing to win people over, and not being shrewd enough. These seem like drawbacks, but they are also the very reasons you pose no threat in the eyes of King Ning. He knows that even if he gives you military command, you wouldn't be capable of threatening him."

Wu Yong's face gradually darkened.

His mood, which had been bright all day because of his promotion, was instantly ruined. He even felt a little disgusted and queasy.

"Don't be resentful. If you could lead troops into battle, win over the hearts of the people, flatter King Ning, and be cunning and strategic, then King Ning would have killed you long ago. Look at your colleagues, including Ye Wang and Li Songru, which one of them doesn't have obvious flaws"

Zhou Changshou's eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts. He could clearly see every detail of Wu Yong's inner thoughts and activities.

"Ye Wang was brave, but lacked cunning. Li Songru was cunning, but failed to win people's hearts."

His only flaw is that he's not well-liked. If you could make Prince Ning think that Li Songru is deliberately courting the support of some generals, what do you think

"With Li Songru's death, there was no other capable general within the Yan Yun Sixteen Riders who could step up. At that time, King Ning would have been concerned with finding someone to replace Li Songru. In comparison to his position, you became less important. And you were already the commander of Tie Futu. Even if you did nothing, you could secure this position and wouldn't worry about being replaced as a temporary placeholder. Isn't this what you wanted most"

Zhou Changshou's voice was like the devil's whisper, making Wu Yong's mouth dry.

Although he is the commander of Tie Futou now, everyone, including himself, knows he's just a temporary replacement. As long as King Ning finds a more suitable candidate, he will be demoted back to his previous position.

Of course Wu Yong was not willing to accept this.

It's easier to go from frugality to luxury than the other way around.

Not to mention, this is real power.

Having tasted the sweetness of power, Wu Yong was no longer willing to return to his former position of being a mere staff officer.

His breathing grew labored, but he did not forget the most crucial question.

"You've said so much, but you still haven't told me how I can do this. How can I get the Prince to kill Li Songru"

Zhou Changshou chuckled lightly.

He knew that he had accomplished half of his goal for tonight.

“It’s simple, you go back and tell the Prince Ning that tonight there were fireworks outside the military camp, but after investigation, you found no clues. You can only confirm that these fireworks must have been fired by someone inside the camp as a signal to someone else. What the signal means and who it's for remains unknown.”

Thus, the great task can be accomplished. speak, but his face grew increasingly grim.But after about half an hour, Xu Wei came with Long Huaiyu.After bringing Long Huaiyu into the room, Xu Wei did not enter but remained at the door.Seeing th...
